Rotten Tomatoes Makes Major Move To Prevent the Trolling Of Movies' Scores Before They Even Open

These days, a movie's Rotten Tomatoes score is just as important as any individual review.

The website, which aggregates reviews from critics and audiences and scores the movie based on what percentage of people liked and disliked the film, has, for better or worse, become an industry standard way to judge a movie's quality.

Except, of course, when "fans" decide to tank a movie's score to make a political statement.

Toxic fanbases, often young, White male movie-goers, have recently made a habit out of downvoting movies they haven't even seen yet.

Why?

Because they want movies starring women or people of color to fail.

Upcoming movies like Star Wars: Episode IX and Captain Marvel, which haven't been seen by any members of the general public yet, have become the latest targets of these trolls.

They who spam the movie's account with negative reviews for a movie they have never seen.

Many of the negative reviews, intended to leave the movie with a bad Rotten Tomatoes score so less people will see it, are generated by bots.

People online have long been calling for Rotten Tomatoes to change its system so that audiences can't vote on the quality of movies they haven't seen yet.

Finally, on February 25, they did just that.

Rotten Tomatoes will now be making some major changes to keep out trolls.

Of course, there's always more work to be done, but this is a great step!

The "fans" who downvote movies long before they premier are often young men who don't believe franchises they love should have entries starring women or people of color.

Fans were overjoyed at the change!

There were, however, some people online who thought the trolls blindly tanking a movie's reviews had a right to do so.

Most people seemed to agree that those people were wrong and were probably the ones tanking movies starring people who don't look like them.

Because having an all White male cast is OK, but adding women or people of color means "political correctness" and "agendas."

Prison is a horrifying place. It is brimming with society's worse. And the people who work and patrol those prisons are living in fear on the daily. Now not everyone is pure evil but plenty are, and those who keep us safe from these people lay their loves down, probably with not enough pay. Imagine spending day in and day out with murderers and lunatics? No thanks.

We all know Murphy's Law is real. And never, NEVER say... "So what next?" That is just calling on the spirits of evil to mess with you. Life is a struggle and sadly some moments are met with sorrow then met with hardship and then misery. It's a wonder we all get out alive..... Oh. Wait.

Warning: This is adult subject matter.Escorting is an arduous job. And it is a job. Maybe not one we'd all love to do but it's work none the less, especially when you have to mess with someone you may not find the most "aesthetically appealing." The workers in the trade have an endless well of stories to tell us. And you know we're dying to hear. Our questions on this topic are bottomless.
